It does not bother me to say this isn't love
My friend assures me,
"It's all or nothing."
But I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore
The time when kindness falls like rain
She's talking in her sleep
Her kindness bangs a gong
Because if you don't want to talk about it then
it isn't love
And I guess I'm going to have
to live with that
But I'm sure there's something
in a shade of grey,
Something in between,
And I can always change my name
If that's what you mean
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the
things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget
I am not worried
"If it's love," she said,
"then we're going to have to think about the consequences."
She can't stop shaking
I can't stop touching her and...
This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me
shuddering for days," she says
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
I'm not going to bend, and
I'm not going to break and
I'm not going to worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say,
"As long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe
I should
Snap her up in a butterfly net
Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...
It
washes me away and Anna begin
s to change my mind
And eve
rytime she sneezes
I believe it's love and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
It's keeping me awake and
Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense
but I understand and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away
She disappears and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
I wonder how it's going to be
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When you're sure I'm not there
How's it going to be
When there's no one there to talk to
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be, How's it going to be
Where we used to laugh
There's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore
Like the hammock by the
Doorway we spent time in, swings empty
I Don't see lightning like last fall
When it was always about to hit me
I wonder how's it going to be
When it goes down
How's it going to be
When you're not around
How's it going to be
When you found out there was nothing
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be
And how's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
And how's it going to be
Want to get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion
I want to taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion oblivion
How's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
How's it going to be, How's it going to be
How's it going to be
